The added power of the HK doesn't necessarily translate to a better result. It takes ten times the power to sound twice as loud. There's also the matter of speaker impedance. I don't know about the HK midbasses, but the woofers are 8 ohms, so compared to the 4 ohm woofers of the Hi-Fi it takes twice as much power to get the same output. Adding more speakers doesn't necessarily make for better sound either. It can make it worse.
EQ allows one to tailor the response to the acoustics of the car and the preferences of the listener. The seven bands of EQ in the HK is better than the zero bands of EQ in the Hi-Fi, but it's still half the minimum number of bands that are required to do the job well. The Match Up DSP has 30 bands of EQ, which is as much as you'll find in the best recording studio gear.
